We aren’t making this up.

July is Lasagna Awareness Month. A month to reflect on the classic Italian dish with as many layers as a Floridian visiting Connecticut in the fall.

While many will take time to reflect in quiet contemplation on the mysteries of lasagna, we’re here to unravel the complexity of such a dish in four distinct recipes you can make in the comfort of your own home. Cozy on up with a glass of wine and a $14.99 rental of Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties after you’ve cooked up your own batch of lasagna to share with absolutely no one.

Let’s start things off with a classic, straightforward recipe for a tradition, Italian lasagna, courtesy of the folks from The Wholesome Dish.

Next up, we’ve got a vegetarian and gluten-friendly recipe from The Mediterranean Dish. Instead of using meat or pasta, this one uses eggplant!
